In this tutorial I'll take you through all the steps you need to create your own font, from research through to sketching, ideation and creation. We'll use Illustrator and Fontself to export our font quickly and easily.
If you purchase a copy through the above link, then I get a small commission and you'll be helping keep TipTut alive and healthy into the future.
A quick tip to mass create many glyphs at once, you can add a comma between characters in the Create Glyph textbox. Like this: .,;,:,?,!
